Dust Bowl Brewing
290 Figueroa St., Monterey (831) 641-7002, dustbowlbrewing.com
The slogan “great beer born of hard times” could easily be adapted to millennials: great people who came of age in tough economic times. People who really just need a good, refreshing beer. It turns out there are a lot of those people; ever since Turlock-based Dust Bowl opened its doors in Monterey at the base of Fisherman’s Wharf in June 2019, it’s been packed, both indoors and out. Maybe there’s a lesson in voter turnout here: Bring along a variety of beers – they pour everything from the Hops of Wrath IPA to the easy-drinking Taco Truck lager – and the millennials will show up in large numbers.
